Buyer's Guide: Why Choose Clipper Reusable Lighters?
Not all lighters are created equal. Clipper has achieved legendary status among smokers not just for their iconic designs, but for their utility.

Whether you are stocking up with a 48-pack tray or upgrading to a premium Metal Series set, Smoke & Vape ensures you get the best value with our Price Match Guarantee, Free Shipping on orders over $49, and a Hassle-Free Returns policy.
1. Choosing Your Series: Metal vs. Classic
Our collection features three distinct body types. Use the chart below to decide which version suits your lifestyle or inventory needs.
| Series Type | Best For | Key Difference | Top Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Series | Gifts & Heavy Use | Adjustable flame dial & weighted feel | Black & Gold Metal |
| Classic Large (Plastic) | Everyday Carry (EDC) | Iconic shape, massive design variety | Canna King Collection |
| Jet Flame | Outdoors & Windy Days | Windproof torch flame (Electronic ignition) | Jet Flame Assorted |
| Minitube | Pipes & Candles | Extended neck to keep fingers safe | Clipper Minitube |
2. The "Hidden" Clipper Features
Why do smokers prefer Clipper over generic lighters? It comes down to three specific design choices:
- The "Poker" Tool: The entire flint system (the spark wheel and the stick beneath it) pulls right out. This creates an instant poker tool for packing rolled cigarettes or clearing a pipe bowl.
- Self-Adjusting Flame: On the classic plastic models, the flame automatically grows larger when the lighter is tipped sideways or upside down—perfect for lighting bowls without burning your thumb.
- Truly Reusable: Every Clipper has a valve at the bottom for refilling butane, and the flint system can be replaced for pennies. This reduces plastic waste significantly compared to disposables.

4. How to Refill & Repair
To get the maximum lifespan out of your Clipper, you need two things: Butane and Flints.
- Refilling Gas: Turn the lighter upside down. Press the nozzle of your Clipper Butane can firmly into the red valve for 3-5 seconds. Let the lighter sit for a minute before lighting to let the gas settle.
- Replacing Flints: Pull the spark wheel unit (the poker) straight up to remove it. Unscrew the small plastic bottom, remove the old spring, drop in a new flint, and screw it back together.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Metal Series actually better than the plastic ones?
Yes, and for two specific reasons. First, the Metal Clipper Series features a manual flame adjustment wheel at the bottom, which the plastic versions lack. Second, they are significantly more durable and have a comfortable weight in the hand. While the plastic models are iconic, the metal version is a true "buy it for life" accessory that comes with its own carrying tin.
What is the removable stick under the spark wheel used for?
This is Clipper's "secret weapon" and the main reason they are preferred by smokers. The spark wheel assembly pulls straight out to reveal a long, cylindrical poker. This tool is perfectly shaped for packing down rolled cigarettes or clearing out a pipe bowl. If this part ever wears out, you can buy a Flint System Replacement to make the lighter brand new again.
Should I choose a Jet Flame or a Soft Flame?
It depends on where you smoke.
- Choose Soft Flame (Classic) if you primarily smoke bowls or pipes. The soft flame is gentler and naturally grows larger when tipped sideways to reach into the bowl without burning your thumb.
- Choose Jet Flame if you are outdoors. The windproof torch is ideal for lighting rolled cigarettes in breezy conditions, though it lacks the removable poker tool found in the classic flint models.
How many times can I refill a Clipper lighter?
Technically, indefinitely. Unlike disposables that end up in landfills, every Clipper lighter has a valve at the bottom for Clipper Butane refilling. As long as you replace the flint when it wears down, a single lighter can last for years, making bulk packs an incredible long-term value.
